Admiral Odin Posted December 19, 2000 Posted December 19, 2000 I once tried to do a jack knife(I think that's what the manuver is called) in a 737, on Flight Sim. I had the most realistic settings and it actually work. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.) Roman Proverb

Jem Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 My brother is gonna spend his first hour of chrismas day in a plane coming over here....

milkshake Posted December 20, 2000 Author Posted December 20, 2000 I'll do the manuver in an F22, you've just got to tell me how to perform it and then wait 2 and a half weeks for me to get back home, or you could just tell me and I'd try it in a World War 2 Fighter ------------------ Self proclaimed Forum Drunk milkshake@milkshake.co.uk I Rock (English for I have an Ego the size of a small country, like Luxumboug, or Vietnam)
Nute Gunray Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 I've probably already done it. I'm the hottest F-22 pilot on this forum. And I'm willing to prove it. ------------------ I have a life, but I feel mostly dead.
Rogue Nine Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 I've not played a flight sim in a while, but I'm a pretty fair pilot. Just gimme an F-14D or an F-15E.
Guest janek17 Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 nute... no. the raptor (f22) is my domain, i'd take you out straight away!
Jem Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 My brother is gonna come from Ottawa. from there he goes to Boston, takes another plane to NYC and one last plane directly to Dakar... Oh yeah it's confirmed the Airbus A380 (A3XXX) is gonna come out in 2005-06
Taarkin Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 When I get a semi-decent computer I swear I'll get a flight sim. I prefer WW II era over cheesy oh, I don't know, F22s ------------------ Was I supposed to eat the heads too? 'Cause I took nooo prisioners!

Jem Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 If one of those A380 happen to crash it means more than 600 people will die just like that... ------------------ I don't fear death because if It happens to me I won't have to worry about it.

Jem Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 Taarkin, If you want the best WW II flight sim then get: "Jane's WW II Fighters" and I also prefer WW II era over cheesy oh, I don't know, F22s ------------------ I don't fear death because if It happens to me I won't have to worry about it.
Nute Gunray Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 I am the best F-22 pilot here. I'm like Kinnison is in an X-Wing. Also excellent in the F-16, MiG-29, and Me 262 (I'm "trained" as an bomber interceptor in the 262, so I lack against fighters) ------------------ I have a life, but I feel mostly dead.
Guest Thrawn Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 The WWII era is more classy to me. Dog fights seem more "personal". ------------------ "Noobies Suck" ThRaWn90,RAL_Thrawn,SOB_Thrawn Rogue 6
Taarkin Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 Certainly moreso than simply pointing yourself in the general direction of an enemy and shooting him down with a missile from a kajillion miles away. ------------------ Was I supposed to eat the heads too?

Nute Gunray Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 Yeah, but German flak gunners SUCK and SAMs are a bit more accurate... ------------------ I have a life, but I feel mostly dead. [This message has been edited by Nute Gunray (edited December 19, 2000).]
Nitro Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 I'm gonna be a pilot... As a profession, not a hobby... And I'll take any of you boys on in a round of iF-22!!! ------------------ *Joker, to the helicopter gunner* "How can you shoot women, and children?" "Easy!

Admiral Odin Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 The manuver that I was refering to is this: You fly straight up, untill you stall. Then turning left or right, so the nose of the plane faces the ground, after reaching overspeed you pull up into a loop and come out of the manuever. Like I said before I don't know if jack knife is the proper name. favorite plane has to be the P-51 Mustang. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis."

Nute Gunray Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 I'm an F-22 Lightning III pilot...I can NEVER find anyone to fly against. Everyone around here has L2. Like the ONLY GAME that lag doesn't kill me and I have NO ONE to play... ------------------ I have a life, but I feel mostly dead.
Nitro Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 The move you guys are referring to as the 'jackknife' is really called a "Hammerhead Turn" ------------------ *Joker, to the helicopter gunner* "How can you shoot women, and children?"

Nute Gunray Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 Too bad they don't make a flight sim that you can pull off the coolest looking move: the Cobra. Crude graphic coming soon. I saw MiG-29s doing it once...l33t PS--I just remembered one of the Sukhois can snap so far back they become inverted, but still traveling forward and upward and fire a missile behind themselves. ------------------ I have a life, but I feel mostly dead.

Commander 598 Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 I've got the F-22 Lightning II Demo.Whenever I point the nose up I just go up and almost stay up. Once I ran outta fuel at the highest altitude possible and it took me about 20 minutes with the air-brake on just to get past the clouds. I like just falling... ------------------ "Growing Older is Mandatory, Growing Up is Optional." Official XWA Insane Newtype

JR2000Z Posted December 20, 2000 Posted December 20, 2000 I got F22 Lighting2 the full version. I never really played it.
